Tiago Souto - National Laser Run Champion
Last weekend, in the city of Alenquer, the National Laser Run Championships took place. The event was organized by the Portuguese Federation of Laser Run and was attended by around 250 athletes from clubs across the country.
The Laser Run consists of 5 600m running courses interspersed with 4 targets of five accurate shots at 10m. The athlete who manages to finish the 2400m sprint and the shooting series in the shortest possible time wins.
Tiago Souto (Leixões SC) became National Champion in the Sub 15 category. Tiago performed an almost flawless test in the shooting series and ran at a very high level during the race courses. The athlete from Leixão won this discipline ahead of athletes Mateus Vinagre from Clube Pentatlo de Pataias and Gabriel Oliveira do Camarnal, second and third respectively.
This race served to reference the 3 athletes in all levels for the composition of the relay of the World Laser-Run that takes place in Lisbon at the end of September 2022.
Leixonense athlete Carolina Souto was national vice-champion in the sub 17 level. The competition was won by Luísa Cunha do Benfica. It should be noted that these two athletes are in preparation for the European Modern Pentathlon Championship to be held next July in Poland. The two presented themselves at an excellent level and showing excellent prospects for the upcoming European Championship.
